WARP-BEAMING MACHXINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 379,045, dated March 6,1888.

Application filed October 20, 1687. Serial No. 252,899.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, NIonoLAs BOYLE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Norristown, in the county of Montgomery and State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Warp-BeamingMachines, which improvement is fully set forth in the followingspecification and accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of improvements in beaming-machines, whereby thereis reduced strain on the warps while weaving and beaming, besidesuniform tension on the warps and increased product and better selvage.Figures 1 and 4 represent views of opposite sides of a beaming-machineembodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents an end view thereof. Fig. 3represents a top or plan view thereof, a portion of the rising andfalling frame of the machine being cut away.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the frame of a beaming-machine,and. B the warproller mounted thereon, the said warp-roller receivingrotary motion by connection with the driving-shaft of the machine, or inother usual and well-known manner.

Resting upon the roller B, and consequently in contact with the warpsthereon, is a roller, 0, whose bearings are on a rising and fallingframe, D, the latter being pivoted at the end opposite to said roller 0to the top of the frame A. The shaft E of the roller 0 is freely fittedin its bearings on the frame D, so as to be capable of longitudinalmotions, and one end of said roller has secured to a ea iral). collar,F, whose periphery enters the groove or fork G of an arm, H,which latteris secured to the frame D and is elastic in its nature, forming aspring.

The rod J, which forms the pivot or axis of the frame D, isscrew-threaded at the eyes or places A where it enters the frame A, and45 carries a put, K, which is adapted to tighten against either of saideyes, the latter being internally threaded, so as to be engaged by therod J, by which provision the frame D may be laterally adjusted withprecision. The side arms of the frame D are connected with the axial rodJ by means of collars L, having (N0 model.)

screws or bolts M, by which means said arms may be adjusted on said rod.

It will be seen that when the roller B is rotated the roller .Qreceivesrotation therefrom. Owing to thefs piral eollar F entering the fork G,longitudinal m otions are imparted to the roller 0 while the samerotates, whereby said roller moves from side to side or from flange a toflange a of the roller B, and thus retains the warp true and uniform onthe roller B, the frame D rising as the warp is thickened, as isevident.

Should there be any obstructions to the lateral motions of the roller 0,the spring-arm H yields, thus preventing injury to said roller,its-shaft and bearings, said spring-arm also yielding during the motionsof the spiral collar F, thus reducing friction on said collar.

The frame D may be-weighted in any suitable manner, and it is providedwith a hook, whereby a rope, chain, &c., may be connected therewith forthe purpose of raising and lowering said frame.

While the collar is described as spiral, it is properly a collar locatedobliquely on the shaft E; and, if desired, may be of the form of acollar with a cam-groove in the periphery thereof to receive one end ofthe arm H, in which case the groove or bifurcation of the latter isdispensed with.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A beaming-machine having thewarproller B suitably journaled in one end of the sides thereof, thepivot-rod J, secured in the other end of the sides, the frame D,pivotally secured to said rod J, the roller 0, j ournaled in the sidesof said frameD and having shaft E, the spiral collar F on said shaft,and the arm H, with fork G, said parts being combined substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

2. The frame A, in combination with the roller B, journaled therein, theframe D, pivotally secured to said frame A, the roller 0, having itsshaft E journaled in the side bars of said frame D, the spiral collar Fon said shaft E, the spring-arm H, secured to said frame D, and havingfork G, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. The frame A, in combination with the ICO warp-roller B, havingflanges a and jonrnalod J', the retaining-collars L, the roller 0,having in said frame, the frame I), pivot-ally secured its shaft Ejournaled in the side bars of said to said frame A, the roller 0, havingits shaft frame I), the spiral collar F on said shaft E,

E jonrnaled in said frame D, the spiral collar and the spring-arm H,with fork G, substam 5 F, and the spring-arm H, with fork G,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

tially as and for the )urposo set forth. T r A 4. The frame A, $1combination with the LIOHOLAS L01 warp-roller B, jonrnaled therein, thepivot- \Vitnesses:
